in the same mode as when it was turned o. Press the MODE
button (B) until the light corresponding to the desired mode
lights up:
Light (O): air-conditioning mode
Light (P): dehumidifying mode
Light (N): fan mode
AIR CONDITIONING MODE

dehumidify the room.
The display shows the inner temperature: the light (S) turns
on.
To modify the set temperature, push the (E) or (F) button to
reach the desired temperature. The (T) light turns on and the
